Overview
- Sky’s Florian Plettenberg and other outlets report the 22-year-old has reached an agreement with Union, with negotiations between the clubs described as advanced.
- Antwerp is expected to accept a reduced fee because Van Den Bosch’s contract expires this year, with local reporting calling the move a bargain.
- Union is moving for a centre-back as Danilho Doekhi and Diogo Leite are expected to leave in the summer after failing to extend their contracts.
- Doekhi is being linked with Leeds United under Daniel Farke, and Aston Villa has also been mentioned in recent coverage.
- Van Den Bosch, a right-footed 1.91m defender, has won the Belgian league, cup and Supercup with Antwerp and was close to a €5 million move to Lecce last summer while drawing interest from Serie A clubs and Gladbach.
